1. If I can send a phonebook to O'Leilly, and sent a bottle somewhere else,
I can write Pelosi a letter. I initially thought this was not a great idea, but there's safety in numbers, and this is at least the 4th thread I've see on this.
Let's do it! The more the merrier!

Dear Speaker Pelosi:

Please listen to the Democrats in this country, your constituents. It is now THAT serious that the democrats in the House of Representatives hold impeachment hearings. You know why.
I think your reputation and our country depend on it.

2. Does this make any sense at all?
How many calls have we made? How many emails have been sent? Why the paper trail? I know I sound totally tinfoil but if she has asked for this I really wonder why. Since she has become our 'leader' her behavior has been very odd, almost withdrawn, flighty and definitely one of support for *. I guess if I drive to DC and demonstrate, and demonstrate weekly in my hometown then I may as well send her a letter with my fingerprints all over it so that when the truck comes to round me up there will be no misunderstanding that I am the enemy combatant they are looking for. I feel very sad to think this way. Peace, Kim

4. Don't think that way! I'm thinking this might be the best course, and
something we can ALL do to get her attention. Just imagine; tons and tons of mail all with the same message. That could be powerful, like we're all in the bay in Boston together. Or something.

11. I will send a letter to the woman.
You have convinced me. That's one and I will get my business partners to send a copy as well. There ya go, you got three in one post! It has been so long since I have felt that my DC calls have meant anything but it doesn't stop me from calling! Peace to you, Kim

13. One - two - three letters at a time! Thank you!
It can't hurt, and if she's that oblivious, she will surely know by next week that we mean business! :toast:

7. You bet! I just got an order of impeach bracelets in the mail today.
Maybe I should tuck one of those into the envelope!

8. How big of an order?
If you have a few to spare, maybe. If not, don't bother! :D But just imagine, hundreds of thousands of people writing letters - it's so simple! Beats the hell out of a phone book!

6. I hate her, but I will do it anyway. She'll probably just wipe her butt on it.

12. As long as she doesn't return it I guess that is OK.
Makes a funny mind picture though! Not to be gross but she probably does have to clean up after * is done with her. OK I have crossed the line. peace, Kim

16. I think the 10,000 story is bogus, but I appreciate the effort. 5th K&R.

17. Consider setting up a letter-writing table in public
In a couple of hours you could gather a lot of letters if you choose the right spot. You'd have to front the money for postage, but if you have a donation can most people would probably pitch in to pay for at least their own stamp, maybe someone else's.

I invite you to respond to this with suggestions of good places to table, as a way to keep the thread kicked.

20. I went to bed before seeing this post...
great idea!! College campuses (get the Young Democrats on board), tailgating at ballgames, city hall, courthouses, parks, etc.
